                        Guess! Who am I?

                        (a)  I am a search engine that helps you find information quickly.
                        (b)  I am a video-sharing platform where users can upload and watch videos.
                        (c)  I am a social media platform for connecting and sharing with friends.

                        (d)  I am an online encyclopedia with freely editable articles.

                      Have you ever visited a website to read a story or watch a video? Those websites are made using
                      a special language called HTML. It helps you create simple web pages that show text, pictures and
                      more.

                             HTML

                      HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating web content like text,
                      images, links, videos and audio. HTML5, released in 2014, is the latest version. To work with it, you
                      need a web browser and an HTML editor.

                      A web page is a single page on the Internet with text, images, videos or links. A website is a
                      collection of linked web pages under one address, written in HTML.

                      HYPERTEXT

                      HyperText is text with links (hyperlinks) that take you to another
                      page, resource or section when clicked.                              The term HyperText was coined
                                                                                           by Ted Nelson around 1965.

                            The default colour of a hyperlink is blue. If you click on it once, it changes to purple by default.

                      MARKUP LANGUAGE

                      A markup language controls how text, images and elements appear on a page. It uses special
                      tags to define formatting, layout and display in a web browser.

                                        Suppose, writing HTML5 code was like casting a spell. What kind of digital spells would
                                        you create and what effects would they have on your web page?
